I am looking to buy a cai in the next few months. I drive a lot out in the country on gravel roads and so every now and then I will have a dust cloud from a truck in front of me. My question to anyone who knows is...would a dry filter be ok to run out here or do I need to be looking for an oiled filter to help with dust and dirt. I really like the looks of the mopar unit but it is a dry filter. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

AEM dryflow, which is what the mopar one is or the AEM kit should both be fine. They're huge filters and are supposed to filter very well, the only filter that I think is better is the volant powercore. Dryflow filters will need to be cleaned, but the powercore which is made by donaldson should last 4 years/100k miles and is a use and replace filter.
